Patch Panel Alcasa GC-N0145 1U

The Alcasa GC-N0145 1U patch panel by Good Connections is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations and provides 24 RJ45 ports compatible with Cat6a cabling. Constructed from durable steel with a black finish, this 19-inch rack-mount panel occupies 1U of rack height and measures approximately 482.6 mm wide, 44.5 mm high and 100 mm deep. It is intended to organize horizontal cabling and terminate Cat6a runs while maintaining a compact, professional rack appearance.

Advantages

The panel supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance when used with Cat6a cabling and appropriate network equipment. Its 24 RJ45 ports allow centralized termination of multiple network runs in a single 1U space, helping to save rack units and simplify cable management. The steel construction provides mechanical durability for frequent patching and the black finish integrates with standard rack aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data closets requiring 10 Gigabit-capable connections
• Structured cabling installations using Cat6a cable
• Small and medium-sized enterprise racks where 24-port consolidation is needed
• Network closets and distribution panels for voice and data termination

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended for Cat6a cabling and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications; it may not be necessary for networks that operate only at lower speeds or use lower-category cabling where Cat5e or Cat6 is sufficient. It does not include active electronics, so it is not a managed device and will not provide switching, PoE, or other active network functions.

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 RJ45 ports
• Cabling: Supports Cat6a cable types
• Ethernet performance: Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Material: Steel chassis
• Colour: Black
• Rack size: 19-inch compatible, 1U height
• Dimensions (approx.): 482.6 mm (W) x 44.5 mm (H) x 100 mm (D)

How to use

Mount the panel into a 19-inch rack occupying one U of height. Terminate each Cat6a cable pair onto the corresponding RJ45 keystone or punch-down interface following T568A or T568B wiring standards as required by your installation. Use appropriate cable management and labeling to maintain organized runs. After termination, patch cables can be used to connect the panel ports to switches, routers, or other network equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your cabling is Cat6a or that you plan to upgrade to Cat6a for 10 Gigabit performance
• Verify rack depth and available 1U space to ensure the panel fits in your enclosure
• Plan for cable management accessories (rings, trays, labels) to maintain organized terminations
• Ensure you do not require active functions such as switching or PoE from the panel itself

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, use certified Cat6a cables and follow best practices for cable routing and termination. Label ports and maintain consistent wiring standards across the installation. Periodically inspect connectors and mounting hardware to ensure secure, low-loss connections.
